It was a good time. I enjoyed watching the Ithaca team of Stan and Shane Hoover, Daniel Balwell and his 2 sons just about tie the LC guys in the Manufactures Cup. Those young boys can really shoot, and their fathers aren't too bad either.
At least one of my guns was in the shoot offs. I lent a Sterly 16 to my friend Mark to shoot in the Fox/Parker Challenge and in the Manufactures Cup. Congrats to all those who made the teams, and also to the Koneski's for all their hard work

Agreed!! We need to work on that a little harder. I will make it a priority at the Vintagers. He's a smart kid so it shouldn't be to difficult to lure him away from the crowd he's runnin with once he sees the benefits.

I will be presenting Shane with the coveted Fox Big Bore trophy at the Vintagers. Yes he is a smart young man and sees the future. Parker ain't in it. Just saying.......

Wrong again Mike, he shoots pretty near anything he likes

I have an idea, could we convince the Vintagers committee to have a manufacturer’s event, I think it would be a big draw

Anyone listening?

I hear ya Stan. Personally I enjoy that event and the comraderi when everyone is gathered around watching the shooting. Watching the Fox boys shoot in the rain will always be a favorite memory. I'm only kidding, they toughed it out. I would have screamed UNCLE and conceded.

Then they’d allow Eurotrash guns and that’s just wrong no matter how you look at it.
